Religious zealots camped out on the lawn today and protesting
Trying to figure out just what it is today they're detesting
Evangelist rants on the television, how his heart must bleed
As long as you send a fat check your place in heaven's guaranteed

If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss they've got no reason to be sad
If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss then it's no wonder that they're glad

Teacher tries to convince all the kids that god created man
Dinosaurs sent to confuse, it's all a part of his great plan
Natural selection's just a stupid guess at how we work
Oh, and that guy Darwin, yeah, well we all know he's just a jerk

If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss than it's no wonder that they're glad
If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss they've got no reason to be sad

Geraldo's got a lady on who claims she's got an ancient soul
Sally's got a bunch of kids their parents say they can't control
Oprah says she understands, in soothing tones she must agree
While Donahue just stands and stares, and shrugs so ever-knowingly.

If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss they've got no reason to be sad
If ignorance is bliss they must be very, very happy
If ignorance is bliss then it's no wonder that they're glad
